I cannot recommend Adam's restaurant highly enough! It wasn't our first time in Adam's, but it was the first time in years, after we moved out of Birmingham six years ago and came back recently. We had fond memories from our previous visits, and we were happy to see that nothing has changed in terms of quality of food, service and overall experience. We had the tasting menu with wine pairing, obviously it's not cheap, but the experience is worth the price! Everything was excellent, I cannot think of a dish that I liked the most because each one of them was special - wild bass, scallops, quail with prawns, halibut, beef, were all amazing, with interesting and surprising side pairings that added to the complexity of each dish, and wonderfully paired wine that complimented the food. The service is impeccable, very professional but friendly and approachable, so you can feel being cared for on every step. We are going back, and I would recommend to anyone to do the same! Wheelchair accessibility: There are two steps from the sidewalk leading into the restaurant, but the staff has a ramp and will be happy to assist you. After that it's all on one level, including toilet access. I am not sure about the chef's table experience, I think it's downstairs, and I am not sure if there is a lift - I would recommend checking with the restaurant, their service is impeccable and I am sure they will be able to provide any information you need.
Bold flavours, artful presentation and amazing service! The chef is unafraid to experiment with tastes that ensures your buds are in for an unforgettable ride. The service has to be mentioned especially where the priority is a satisfied and happy customer. If you have dietary restrictions they are willing to try and cater to your needs. Definitely a jewel in the Birmingham restaurant scene!
Having dined here on two occasions quite a while ago, my experiences at Adam’s Michelin starred restaurant were quite mixed. The service was impeccable, setting a high standard from the moment I walked in. The food itself was a creative masterpiece, and looked beautiful on the plate, especially the desserts, which were both delicious and decadent. However, the restaurant fell short in a few areas. Firstly, in my opinion it wasn’t very accommodating for vegetarians or vegans and I wouldn’t recommend it if you are, as the menu options may be limited for those dietary preferences. Secondly, the decor lacked the modern or classic elegance expected of such an establishment, feeling more office like. Lastly, the portion sizes left something to be desired, as I left feeling less than fully satisfied on both occassions. Overall, while the quality and creativity were commendable, I'm not personally in a rush to return anytime soon. Parking: I believe the Street parking is free after 7pm. However be sure to confirm at ticket dispenser.
We had a lovely meal at Adams. As soon as we entered the quality of service shone and we were made to feel welcome and comfortable. That high level of formal, but relaxed service continued throughout. We threw in a couple of last minute dietary requirements and it was no issue.The food was of a high standard and thoroughly enjoyed by the whole table. I have to say though, for me the front of house staff really made the evening.
We went for our wedding anniversary and was not dissapointed. From the service to the food, the experience was brilliant. We went for the 7 course tasting meal, as we do not eat certain foods, we requested our dietary needs which they catered for. As I stated we were coming for our anniversary, the sent me a special menu where you can purchase balloons, flowers or cakes, which was a lovely touch, the wife was pleased when the flowers came out. Of course, being a Michelin star resturant, the food was delicious, I would defo recommend coming.
Wow, what a find! Beautiful restaurant with great service and sensational food! Came for the 5 course lunch menu which was superb! No faults just not enough timeFood: 5/5
Beautiful restaurant and the staff were so attentive throughout, explaining all of the dishes and topping up drinks orders. The food was incredible and we'll worth the price tag. We had the 5 course tasting lunch and would highly recommend!Food: 5/5
Dec 23 Absolutely knock out service, couldn't fault a thing. Perfect attention to detail. Taster menu sublime, especially the rabbit and rum baba courses. A wonderful couple of hours, totally chilled, the perfect treat to mark the end of the working year. Thank you! Dec pics and menu from image 11 onwards Sept 23 4.5/5. Dined here last evening for birthday/anniversary celebration. Second visit in four months. The tasting menu was varied and interesting, see pic. They accommodated my OH who doesn't eat red meat or chocolate. I've only docked 1/2 point as both dishes for one course were served tepid lemon sole/lamb the lamb was also chewy. I offered this feedback and was offered another dish which I declined. I'm also not a fan of unisex toilets. The service synchronisation was a little hit and miss such that the spacing between courses was inconsistent. Our aperitifs were slow to arrive which then cut into the wine time. All this does not detract from a lovely evening. But often its the attention to detail which makes the difference, especially for a high priced evening. Will definitely return however. Thank you for the greetings cards on the table.
I visited Adams yesterday 23rd April with my wife for our Anniversary. We had the 7 course tasting menu. Wow. Just wow. What an incredible experience. We were taken on a journey with interesting, exciting dishes. The wine list is incredible, and Seb's knowledge of the wine is second to none. His recommendations were perfect. The service is the best that we have ever experienced. What a place. It comes with a price that you would expect, but you really are getting something that is second-to-none. We enjoyed every single minute and every bite. Thank you!
While Adam's may tout itself as a Michelin-starred establishment, my recent dining experience left much to be desired. From the moment we stepped through the door, the atmosphere felt stale and lacking in any semblance of warmth or character. The décor was uninspired, resembling more of a corporate office lobby than a fine dining establishment. The service was equally disappointing. Our waiter seemed disinterested and rushed, providing minimal explanation of the menu and displaying little knowledge or passion for the food being served. Throughout the evening, we felt neglected and overlooked, with long waits between courses and an overall lack of attentiveness from the staff. As for the food itself, it failed to live up to the lofty expectations set by its Michelin star. While some dishes showed promise in terms of creativity and presentation, the execution fell flat. Flavours were often muted and uninspiring, with overly complicated combinations that failed to harmonize on the palate. Ingredients appeared to be of decent quality, but were overshadowed by poor cooking techniques and misguided flavour pairings. In summary, Adam's may have a prestigious reputation, but my dining experience left me thoroughly unimpressed. From the lacklustre atmosphere to the mediocre service and underwhelming food, it failed to deliver on its promise of a memorable fine dining experience. Save your money and seek out a restaurant that truly deserves its accolades. :
